( Flashback to yesterday before finding the truth)
Celestia narrows her eyes. It was very difficult to escape the eyes of her peers, especially with this many.
Quite frankly, it's a miracle that they all are still alive after two attempts of murder.
Seeing that nobody was close by, she quickly went inside the Art Room, standing in front of the repository door. She knocked on it in secret form before a clicking sound was heard. Heading inside and closing the door, she was greeted with the sight she had predicted.
"Ah, Mistress Lundenberg!" Hifumi Yamada, one who was supposedly dead, was fine and healthy. Next to him, slumped on the floor on top of a carpet was Ishimaru, blood on his head and unmoving. "Seems that you successfully made it."
"Indeed." Celeste said before looking at the down Moral student, no remorse nor disgust shown. "I hope the travel wasn't too much, with how many people are searching."
"No problem from me!" Hifumi glasses glint. "Thanks to your excellent performance and trickery, I managed to get this traitorous bastard's body in here! Just as we planned!"
"...Good work, Yamada." Celeste spoke in a caring voice that made many dangerous flags rise, making the artist go all doggy happy. She made her way to the side of the room, to a specific place she had 'prepared' a specific item.
"Now then!" The Fanfic Artist turned his back on her and thought. "All we need to do now is get your victim, and we will be set!"
"Yes…" Celeste mumbled as she grabbed a work mallet that she had prepared. "That's all that's left." She raised the weapon high, right behind Hifumi's blind spot.
Honestly, she almost felt sad.
Despite having multiple alterations, this group she was in wasn't…half bad. Interaction with lucksters, talking with females, and smiling at small actions by her 'classmates' has been a nice and calming sense of refreshment.
The idiot here is the only one who would do her petty chores in an attempt to be a butler and friend. His skills at making tea aren't the best, but she will not complain completely. He has been…quite entertaining to order around.
So many allies for her…yet, she must sadly sacrifice them all.
Perhaps if the fool wasn't all that, she wouldn't have made him do this-
Oh, who am I kidding? We all know 'Celestia Ludenberg' would still do it.
For her dream, she would do anything.
('Good bye, Yamada…It was fun while it last.') She thought before swinging the hammer forward.
*Zoom! Grip!*
Only to be stopped by a hand that shot forward and grabbed the handle, stopping it from reaching Hifumi's back head centimeters ahead. The Gambler's crimson eyes blink a few times as realization hits her brain.
Someone else was in the room with them.
Before she could even gasp or think, she felt her body getting wrapped in a tight hold. Her hold on the hammer was lost and it fell, but she never heard a clanging sound. A hand had covered her mouth so that she didn't say a word. Using her deduction skills, she tried to identify who had captured her. Given the hand's size, her assailant was a male and had a strong grip given the hold and pressure he was giving her, not like she could fight back with such a delicate body of hers, and could feel some sort of muscle on the back of her head.
With those thoughts, her options are four people.
One was slumping right in front of her. Two are too dumb nor skilled enough to be stealthy. That leaves…
('Oh, you have got to be joking! How?!') Celeste felt like her luck had finally been bested for once, and it pissed her off a lot.
"So! Who are you planning to ooo-aaaaaaaagh!" Hifumi began to ask as he looked behind only to suddenly scream in fear and fall on his butt. "M-M-M-Master Sparda! W-What a s-s-s-surprised!"
Sure enough, Celeste felt skin breaking off her head as the fat idiot confirmed the dreadful conclusion she had reached.
Meanwhile, Ragna stared at the fallen fanfic artist with a blank expression before turning to the down Taka. "...I must say, I did not expect this outcome from you, Hifumi Yamada." He said.
"O-Outcome?" Hifumi felt shivering in his spine. The way he said his full name…was not right.
"I mean…attacking Taka? Wow." He turned to the struggling Celeste. "I guess you tried to make things hard for everyone when they found it, eh Celestia Ludenberg?" Now Celeste was feeling the same thing. "Too bad I figured you out before you act."
('What?!') Celeste thought as her composed eyes shook uncontrollably. How?! How did he figure it out? She was extremely cautious when making this plan! He had to be lying! There's no way he-
"...Ugh…"
Both perpetrators of today's scheme felt disbelieving in despair as they turned and watched as Taka's 'lifeless body' groaned and began to stand up. "My head…" Taka groaned before placing his hand on his head…and feeling the wetness in it. "Huh?"
('H…How…') Celeste's composure was completely destroyed along with Hifumi's pale jaw drop and mumbling nonsense.
*click!*
"Oh! It's open now. Strange."
"You sure it was close?"
"I am! I tried to open it but it was locked!"
The black-haired gambler could only feel her plan become dust and swept away as the door she had locked after entering was open and the faces of the Donut obsessed girl, the Motorcycle Moron, and the small Programming crybaby appeared.
"I hope we…EHHHHHHHHHHHH?!" Hina was saying before her blue eyes looked inside and screamed in disbelief.
"Huh? What is…WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUCK!?" Mondo followed her example with horror while Chihiro gasped and covered his mouth.
At that moment, for the first time in her gambling career of unpredictableness and deception, a true tragedy had fallen on Celestia Ludenberg.
She…had lost.
( Present day)
Repeat. Rewind.
Those were the only two active things that continued running through her mind. A frustrating sigh left her lips as she couldn't understand the bullshit that happened. She couldn't understand it!
She made preparations with calculated movements. Her partner, while questionable, was the perfect puppet to control and even did his job, shockingly to all, perfectly. The body was handled the proper way and everyone was fooled about the stupid fortune teller's guilt!
So how did she, the Queen of Liars, the Ultimate Gambler, the woman known to be unbeatable in gambling… lose to her very own gamble!?
Of course, she knew why! It wasn't her luck, nor her partner.
It was him. She knew he was an enigma; she had stated before about it! Everything went downhill because of him!
She felt anger, disgust, amazement, and respect. The first formers were more than the latter but whatever.
The jig was up…and she was currently paying the price.
"Hehehehe!"
"Wow. This is…heh…"
"I have no words, other than this is a perfect punishment."
"Hahahahaha! Serves you right!"
Celestia Ludenberg could feel her eyebrow ready to break skin from the twitching it had been making for the past few minutes while withstanding the presence of four D-Rank human beings. It was even more humiliating that she was not herself. By that, she meant that her outfit had completely changed; her once gorgeous, prideful, and expensive gothic-theme frilly dress was replaced with a boring and slightly itchy sport suit with shorts.
In short, this was a disgusting humiliation to a high-class woman like herself.
"How's the clothing, your Highness?"
It hurt her that she couldn't even talk back without such anger.
"Alright, that's enough." Taka regained his bearings and spoke in authority. "Just because she is being punished doesn't mean we have to mock her."
"I don't know." Hiro placed his hands under his chin. "I feel that what she is wearing isn't enough."
"What? Like, you want her to dress herself in her swimsuit or something all day?" Mondo casually suggested.
"Yeah!"
"Unacceptable!" Taka fiercely glared at him. "I will not let such action happen at this school!"
"But think about it!" Hiro suddenly pointed his finger forward. "She's been mocking us for quite some time because she thinks herself as high as Byakuya! I even heard from 'Naegs' that this little witch considers us Rank-D; common human beings with no interest!"
The three other boys blink a few times before turning their heads to the gambler, who looks to be trying to not break into anger. ('So this is how it feels to Togami.') She thought as she glared at the brunette from afar, who was eating his sandwich in ignorance. ('To think I wanted to make you a C-Rank. I must re-value my results.')
Honestly speaking, she has so many things to reconsider…by a margin.
(Changing POV)
"I do believe we all could guess that she has a very small view of us." Sakura commented, drinking a bit of tea.
"Agreed." Mukuro nods while eating some canned food.
"Is that really healthy?" Hina asked the soldier with a worried look.
"Back in my platoon, this is what we have to eat to stay prepared." The soldier replied before looking at the swimmer with a blank. "And it's far more acceptable than eating donuts all day."
"I can't help it! They are sugary and delicious!" Hina countered while munching on a glazed chocolate donut.
"Sorry, Hina. But Mukuro makes a valid point of nutrition in her diet." Sakura replied with closed eyes. "It's only because of your exercising routine that you can burn fat in mere seconds."
"I don't know if I should be insulted or glad about that." The skinned-tan girl deadpanned.
Before any conversation could continue, the doors of the kitchen opened up. "Good morning you all." Ragna greeted as he came out with a big plate full of food. Right behind him, Sayaka came holding several plates and cups, and Hifumi with an…expression that would be a combination of confusion and sadness while holding a plate with food.
"Morning." Everyone inside, except Celestia, replied.
"Hope you all are hungry because breakfast is served." Ragna said as he placed the plate on the table. "As promised, Hifumi cooks his own food. I would rate his attempt a solid 4 out of 10."
"...It's just a sandwich." Leon motioned to the breaded food that Hifumi was now eating at the far table labeled 'grounded'.
"And his first attempt! I'm so proud!" Ragna said while wiping a tear off in joy, making the rest sweat at his display. "Anyways, dig in while it's hot." He made a 180-degree turn and headed to the kitchen.
"Where are you going?" Mondo asked.
"To stay in the kitchen and make sure a certain someone doesn't burn it as they make their food." Ragna replied before narrowing his eyes at the gambler. "Yo! Wednesday Adam! Get your white ass here!"
"...I would appreciate it if you at least not call me names." Celeste grunted as she stood up.
"And we all would have appreciated it if you hadn't tricked Hifumi into trying to kill Taka, but you didn't listen, so no. Get in here now." Ragna replied sarcastically as he opened the door for her, making her growl. "Now, now. No growling in the hall." He joked as he entered inside.
"...I'm impressed." Kyoko, having spoken after grabbing a French toast, as she looked at the Idol, who had been seated with Makoto. "I thought you would go with him and keep an eye on Celestia."
Sayaka slid her eyes as she looked at her, unamused "For what? What is that gambling addict going to do now? Hit him with a frypan when he turned his back?" She sarcastically replied. "Unlike Yamada, the pan will be bent first before he gets hurt." In the back, Hifumi flinched at the throw shade he got.
"...Why can I see that happening?" Mukuro said.
"Same." Kyoko and Hina agreed, the Swimmer sweat dropping.
"Sparda's durability is quite impressive." Sakura hummed, placing her teacup down. "Perhaps his achievement in survivability is proof of his training."
"Mwe Gwondo! ('Hey, Mondo!')" Hiro looked at the Biker with a mouth full of bread. "Ra guh gure du hid dim dard? ('Are you sure you hit him hard?')" He tried to say something and that's what we got.
"Huh?" The mentioned one looked at him with a raised eyebrow as he put two sausages on his plate. "What the heck did you ask?"
Hiro gulped everything in his mouth and opened his mouth…before reluctantly closing it down. "N-Nothing. Never mind, it is something stupid."
…
…
…
You could hear a pin drop at that.
"What?!" Hina gasped as her donut fell off her hand. "Hiro used his brain!"
"No fucking way!" Leon almost lost his hold of the plate he had.
"Dear God…Has the Apocalypse fallen upon us?" Even Sakura couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Kyoko placed her gloved hand under her chin. "Has his brain been restored after hitting his head multiple times?"
"Kirigiri is asking! What the Hell is going on!?" Sayaka shouted while pointing her shaking finger at her.
"I-I know I shouldn't be asking, but is this character development?" Hifumi stuttered.
"I hate all of you." Hiro didn't even have the strength to sigh. Why are they mean to him? What the fuck he did do to deserve all this? (AN: Comment section! Is Roasting Time!)
From the kitchen door, Ragna peeks his head with a confused look. "The heck are you all shouting?" He asked.
"Hiro was about to ask something but stopped and said to forget it because it was stupid." Mukuro replied while eating from a can of meat.
"Oh wow…Character Development for once." Ragna deadpanned before hearing a small hissing sound, retracting his head inside. "Really? I looked away for a total of 0.34 seconds and you already started a campfire?"
"Shut…it." The raspy voice of Celeste chirps out.
"M-Moving aside," Makoto spoke while sweating at the awkwardness of the room, as well as trying to ignore the harsh comment of Hiro and the sound of a faint clattering in the kitchen. "Has anyone seen Chihiro?"
"Now that you mention it," Hina looks at the entrance. "When I went to her room, she said that there was something she needed to do and hadn't come out. She has been taking too long."
"Hmph! While I cannot believe one of the earliest to come here is late, I can let it pass after what happened yesterday." Taka said with his arms crossed. "That being said, I suggest that we start investigating once we eat breakfast!"
"Investigate?" This was the general question of everyone.
"But of course!" Taka smiled. "I have been noticing that after a certain time, the part of school that was close to us will open!"
Kyoko hummed. "Yes. Every time we survive a murder attempt, we get a new floor to discover."
Taka blankly looks at her. "...Kirigiri. I was trying NOT to remind anyone about those." He sighs while placing his hands on his sides. "But yes, that's what I have noticed."
"So you propose that we go and search…not to sound rude or like Togami, but what's the main point here?" Mukuro asked.
"Duh!" Hina pumps herself up. "To find a way out"
"By going up?"
"...And investigate new places!"
"So that another 'accident' happens?"
"...Find anything to help us understand where we are!"
"We all have agreed that we are in Hope's Peak Academy since day one."
Hina finally flopped on her chair, a depressing cloud next to her. "Girl. Please let me have something." Sakura patted her back in comfort.
"I apologize, but I have to tell the truth." Mukuro while placing her can down.
"...Even so." Surprisingly, Makoto spoke up, looking at the soldier. "We shouldn't give up so easily. If we can even find a slight clue, we have to take it."
"Makoto is correct!" Taka concurred with him. "We made it this far! We cannot lose hope now!"
"Damn right!" Mondo smirks. "Who knows? We might find where that stupid bear puppeter is hiding!"
…
…
…
"...Why are you guys looking at me like that?" Mondo raised a confused eyebrow at everyone, including his Bro.
"Oh, just processing the fact that you said something smart for once." Mukuro plainly said.
"...You know what? I'm not going to be mad about that." The biker scratched his back.
"Progress in character development?" Leon teased.
"You wanna go, Nirvana!?"
"Bring it on, Cannon Folder!"
"Both of you! Calm down!" Once again, the group reverted to snickering at seeing the two boys ready to pound each other's throats while Taka tried to hold them back.
They need this, after everything that happened. Monokuma tried to get to them, and he almost succeeded. They were close to the jaws of despair for a third time…
But if the third time's the charm, what now?
"Good Lord!"
The doors of the kitchen swung open hard as Ragna came out, very dramatically. "Guys! We might need to change the punishment!" Everyone looked confused at him as he moved to the side and let Celestia exit…
With an almost burnt sandwich in hand.
"...Man, she sucks at cooking." Leon bluntly said.
...
...
...
"No."
"Eh? But-"
"Ragna, I agreed with her."
"Same."
"I do too."
"Ditto."
Ragna could not even start to think how this happened. After being informed of today's plan, he pointed out that Hifumi and Celestia were grounded and forced to stay inside their rooms. Meaning that they will be without a watch as the rest check the school. With a fair point, he offered to have the first watch until they finished investigating.
He was bombarded by the word 'No'.
"Absolutely not." Sayaka grunted while poking his chest with her finger. "I am not letting you out of my sight. Last time you did a Hoodini, we all thought you died."
"Three times, I might add." Surprisingly, Kyoko spoke up. "While your actions have been for preventing incidents, it is clear that leaving you alone is troublesome."
"That's hypocritical of you, so your opinion is invalid." Ragna deadpanned.
"But she makes a point, dude." Leon narrowed. "Not only that, you forcefully put Taka unconscious to confuse Fatso and bitch over here."
"That's correct!" Taka quickly spoke. "While I do appreciate that you had no intention to let anyone die, it's unacceptable that you trick all of us! As such, you must pay for the consequences of your actions!"
"Okay."
"And don't even try to weasel your way…" Hina's anger was replaced by confusion. "Wait what?" She wasn't the only one as much of the rest blinked at Ragna's easy acceptance.
"What? I can see that nobody here is going to say anything to help me, even Makoto is glaring at me." He said while looking at the narrowing brunette. "And I must say…that I'm proud of you all!" He happily looked at them, like a proud father. "You all are standing up for yourself with no bullshit to give! I am…crying." Tears were coming out.
"...Red. I think most of us have noticed but you are…something else." Mondo said, somehow finding himself chuckling.
"W-Well, I'm glad of your cooperation concerning your actions, Sparda!" Taka was blushing, perhaps because he was told that he did something right.
"Happy to do so." Ragna replied as he asked the most important question. "And? What am I supposed to do?"
*Click!*
…
…
…
"Sayaka. Where the fuck did you get those handcuffs?" Makoto asked (as we all gasped at his swearing) in disbelief at seeing his friend just casually bring a pair of handcuffs.
"Over at the Prize Room." She simply replied.
"And this is the part where I get my money from Kirigiri." Ragna said as she extended his hand at the lavender girl, who raised an eyebrow at his words.
"What money? We didn't bet on anything." She replied.
"Bullshit. You asked me where she would find a pair of handcuffs and I replied at the Monokuma shop rip-off. Therefore, I was right." Ragna replied with a grin.
"...And I agree with you."
"Your point being?" Ragna did a Lenny expression.
"...Why do you even need money? Is practically useless here."
"Why do we all wear clothes? We all know what each gender we are."
"...You're just messing with me at this point." Kyoko didn't even know how, but she had finally begun to feel frustrated at the white-haired's attitude. "Let's just start this investigation."
"Okay, now come-" Sayaka was going to cuff his arm, only for it to be taken off her hands. "H-Hey!" She wanted to yell at them to give it back but backed down when she saw who had taken them.
"Sorry, Sayaka." Makoto apologizes as he walks up to Ragna, cuffing his arm on one side. "But I'll be keeping an eye on him today." He motioned his brother to show his arm, which Ragna complied with as he pulled his right sleeve up and got cuffed.
"Alright!" Taka took the initial turn once again. "Now then. Yamada! Lunderberg! Both of you will be staying in your room as told before, and have no need to go out. Therefore, I order you both to relinquish your door keys!"
"Eh?!" Hifumi's confusion about such a thing was understandable.
"Wait. Why does it matter if they have their keys?" Hiro asked, "They can just close their rooms from inside."
"Exactly!" Taka nodded. "They will stay inside, lock in. Meaning that we will see if they have left or not. They will not open to anyone; for I, and only I, will open their door rooms." He explains.
"I see." Sakura hummed in understanding. "Without their keys, they won't be feeling safe outside. Should something bad happen, suspicion falls to the one who holds their freedom."
"Bro, are you sure you can handle it?" Mondo asked, looking concerned at his best friend. "Fatso tried to kill you already."
"Worry not, Bro." Taka smiled. "I have no intention to fall so low to petty actions, nor will I allow anyone to go after them, and even if I do, I have become the first suspect of it." He looked at the two 'criminals' and stretched his hand. "Now, relinquish them."
Hifumi gulped as he took his key and shakily placed it on the table.
Celeste grumbled internally as she proceeded to do as well.
"Thank you!" Taka took the keys and put them away before looking at the others. "Now! Let us go and search!"
( 4th Floor)
The usual group of four (Makoto, Ragna, Sayaka, and Mukuro) reached the new floor. "Alright. Says here that there's a Music Room-"
"Where?!" Sayaka appeared on Ragna's shoulder, scaring the shit out of Makoto. "Wait…we have maps in the handbook?"
"...Are you serious?" Cue deadpanned expressions.
"Hey! I'll let you all know that the past days have been hectic!" Sayaka reminded them.
"...She does bring a fair point." Mukuro said.
"Fair enough." Ragna and Makoto replied together before the white-haired turned his attention to the device. "Anyways, say here that the Music Room is…oh! Right there." He pointed at the first door on the fourth floor.
…
…
…
"...She's giving me puppy eyes, isn't she?" Ragna weakly smiled as he could feel his girlfriend's desire to go in now.
"Yeah." Makoto nodded, finding it funny and awkward about it.
"Sayaka. We are going either way." Ragna shook his head.
With a squeal of delight from the Idol, the four of them found themselves inside a room with a stage and a piano.
"...Friends." Sayaka walked forward, and for some reason, a light shone above her. "I have received a revelation." She turns around, sporting a serious expression. "I want to make a concert."
"...Not that I'm against it, but is that really a good idea?" Mukuro spoke, making them look at her. "We…are in a bad situation, and making this will be an opportunity for anybody."
"I agreed." Sayaka nodded. "As much as I don't want to, the possibility is there…but even so! I want to go for it!" Her eyes glowed in determination. "Is to give everyone a break and relax, even if just a bit, and it's a great opportunity to amend my mistake and error for starting this distrust I created!" She looked at Ragna and Makoto, who were wearing sunglasses to block the light from her eyes. "Please! I want to do it, you guys!"
"...That's not a bad idea." Makoto liked that. "We really need morals, and Sayaka is a sensational singer."
"I agreed." Ragna nodded. "With a bit of music and a bit of talking, we could have a small party." They did need one.
"Guys. Seriously?" Mukuro deadpanned them.
"We had a swimming competition not too long ago. Why not allow this?" Makoto said.
"And it is not like we are doing it now." Ragna pointed out. "We'll have a few days before we do anything."
"...Even so-"
*Shove*
"Eh?!" Makoto was shoved forward, tumbling in Mukuro's direction, who blinked and caught the lucky boy in her arms, ending in a hug. Both teens looked at each other and their faces turned crimson before Makoto moved back and glared at Ragna, who was smiling innocently.
Mukuro on the other hand, was having her internal crisis at having the brunette close to her. She could feel his chest on hers, feeling his pumping heart echoing with her tranquil one.
It was just like always.
"So! Shall we move to explore?" Ragna said as he pulled Makoto back from her embrace, pulling him into a princess-carry. "We can continue this duet plan later."
"Yes." Sayaka nodded. "Let's start."
As the three began to search, Mukuro stood still. Her mind was still processing the fact that Makoto…hugged her.
So many memories flew into her.
*Bzzzzt*
And it quickly disappeared when she heard a familiar sound in her ear. Narrowing her eyes at the trio, she moved to the side and began to search while speaking, "Yes?"
"Ah, sweet, ugly sister! So long since we talked with one another! How have you been?" Spoke a cheerful voice.
Mukuro kneels behind the chairs, hiding her sad, small smile before rolling her eyes. "Is there a problem?"
"Huh?! Are you ignoring my concern over you, ya' bitch!?" They spoke in a punk-style tone.
"You don't care about stupid stuff like that."
"Ugh! Thank you! I can stop this boring farce." They now were sounding like an angst teenager. "Do you have any idea how boring it is to come up with sappy, loving bullshit? Ugh, I want to barf."
"No." Mukuro replied. "Is there something you wish for me to do? Start the killing game for real?"
"Ha! It would be great, but guess what? What is happening now? It's absolutely bonkers!" A happy tone now, which made Mukuro raise an eyebrow. "The failed attempts of murders are making things far more desperate here! And I promise you, it's going downhill, and it's so exciting!"
"..."
"Honestly, it pains me to not get him on my side, yet it makes me far more excited! Avast! It will be more despairing when he breaks! I might actually just accept him back in that state."
"..."
"Ooooooooh! I'm just drooling here at the thought! I might just need to bring that dumb Mikan in here to help me!"
"..."
"Anyways, useless despairing dreams aside…I heard you are planning a party?"
"...Maizono said it-"
"Yeah. Yeah. I also heard "Miss Murder Idol." They spoke in a bored tone. "What I want to know, Dear Sister, is why did you allow this to happen?"
Mukuro needed to be careful here. While she wasn't responsible, she knew that replying without a good reason would be bad. Quickly look up, seeing the trio on the stage where the piano was and Ragna already pressing keys on it.
"...I thought it would create an opportunity."
"Hmm?"
"...Is a party…A good opportunity for something to happen."
"Oh wow. That's smart of you." They spoke in surprise…before laughing. "Ha! You expect me to compliment you for that? I'm not dumb! Of course something will happen!"
('You wouldn't be the brains if you were.') Mukuro though…before flinching at it.
"What I WANT to know is WHAT you want to happen? Or rather, what are YOU going to do?"
At that, Mukuro had to shut up. She was pulling anything out of her ass right now.
"I thought as much, my dumb, ugly, smelly big sister!" It mocks her. "Luckily for you, opening the fourth floor will 'help' make a plan…In fact! You just gave me a good idea of what the next motive will be!"
Insert flinch here.
"Anyways! Better leave before those three find out you are a mole…or maybe I should make things harder and scream LOUDER!"
Mukuro didn't flinch at her ear getting yelled loudly, but she got uncomfortable when they tried to monopolize her position.
They would do it…in a heartbeat.
"Welp! That got boring! I'm-a go and do something else, do try and not be…more boring than you already are, dear sister. Good luck in your endeavor, slut!"
She waited for a minute before letting a sigh out.
That was intense…
Huh. Never thought she would say that.
"Ragna! Put me down!"
She looked at the stage again and twitched her eyes.
Ragna had somehow managed to grab Makoto upside down as he stood on top of the piano, the brunette's ahoge dangling over the piano keys.
Ragna coughs his fist. "Ehem! And now, I will do 'Just the Way You Are' in relaxation." He said before snapping his neck…and rudely began to slam the pointy strand of hair on the keys, making a butchering song.
"S~T~O~P!" Makoto stuttered/vibrated from his up/down movement. "S~a~y~a~k~a~!~H~e~l~p~M~e~!~"
Sayaka's response was a snort behind her covered mouth. "What do you want me to do?"
"T~r~a~i~t~t~o~r~!"
…
"...I don't remember the piano in that song." Mukuro said.
"H~E~L~P~M~E~!"
Honestly, this small peace…is what she needs right now.
